- Egypt's automatic petroleum pricing committee held gasoline and diesel prices unchanged after reviving its quarterly review by cabinet decision.
- Benzene 92 stays at 22.25 EGP per liter, benzene 95 at 24 EGP, and diesel at 20.50 EGP per liter.
- Hatem El-Nagib, deputy head of the Vegetables and Fruits Division, said the freeze supports produce price stability as the winter season reaches full capacity.
- El-Nagib said potato and onion prices could decline next month as new harvests begin in Minya and Sohag.
- Hazem El-Monoufy of Egypt's food commodities division said the freeze could lower food prices by cutting production and transport costs.
